Crustacean Fauna of South Africa. 115 
Stebbing has already described specimens of this species from 
Algoa Bay and remarked upon some of the features in which the 
South African specimens differ from previous descriptions. These 
same specimens I have re-examined, aud on the whole am able to con- 
firm Stebbing’s remarks. I make, however, certain further observa- 
tions on the sexual differences in the uropods, and as regards the 
peraeopods I find certain small discrepancies. 
The peduncle and outer ramus of the Ist and 2nd uropods are 
covered with fairly numerous spines along the upper margins, inner 
ramus of Ist uropod with rather fewer spines, inner ramus of 2nd 
uropod constricted at its distal third, with 1 spine at the constriction 
and 3 spines nearer base. Third uropod in ¢ as described by Steb- 
bing; in the 2, however, with only 3 setae on distal part of inner 
margin of outer ramus and 3 small spinules on distal part of outer 
margin of inner ramus. 
The fringe of setae on 5th and 6th joints (Stebbing, Lc. p. 68, writes 
“Ath and 5th”’ by a laps. cal.) of 1st gnathopod does not seem to be 
present normally ; the 5th joint has 5-6 pairs of setae on hind margin 
and 2-3 on apex, 6th joint has a row of fine, short and closely-set 
setules along whole hind margin and in addition 6 isolated tufts of 
setae. ‘he corresponding joints of 2nd gnathopod on the other hand 
do have a dense fringe of setae. There are no sexual differences in 
either of the gnathopods. 
Specimens from Simon’s Bay in False Bay agree with the Algoa 
Bay specimens. 
Stebbing has also mentioned a small specimen, presumably from 
Algoa Bay like the others, with pale eyes, Ist joint of Ist antenna 
with 2 acute spines, telsonic apices with a small tooth, and other 
variations. Adult specimens from False Bay have the following 
characters : 
Pale eyes, acute teeth on Ist peduncular joint of Ist antenna, 
flagellum 30-jointed, accessory flagellum 7-jointed, 2nd antenna with 
flagellum 30-jointed in ?, in ¢ reaching to end of body, 2nd joint of 
mandibular palp with 1 apical seta, Ist and 2nd gnathopods and uropods 
as above described for the dark-eyed form, with the same sexual differ- 
ences in the uropods, telson as described by Stebbing. 
Length: g 10 mm.; largest ovigerous 2 13 mm. (light-eyed 
form). ; 
Localities: Dark-eyed form: Algoa Bay, 4-16 fathoms (Stebbing) ; 
Saldanha Bay, 25 fathoms (Chilton, presumably dark-eyed, but this 
point not mentioned); Table Bay, shore. 1g, 19. 26, 3/96 (Dr. 
J.D. F. Gilchrist), and og, 2? 9, 1897 (Dr. W. F. Purcell) ; Kalk
